Context?
By Peter Leithart
Context determines the meaning of a word, right?
But “context” refers, in the first instance, to other words.
But their meaning must also be determined by context?
When you take all the words away, what’s left of the “context” that’s supposed to determine the word’s meaning?
Mustn’t individual words and context be (perichoretically) co-determinative?
